Galveston Restaurants, as great a getaway as the island itself

There's not much pretense here

Galveston Restaurants are unique as its visitors. And those
visitors come from around the world. On this tiny island in the Gulf of Mexico
you have more dining choices than many larger cities.

One
day the island seems to sedate. Like a quiet hometown. The next day it is alive
with tens of thousands of visitors. The one thing everyone has in common,
besides loving the island, is the question: where do we eat?

Are you
hungry? What are we in the mood for? Do
we care if we have to wait to get a seat? How much do we want to spend? Is
there a view?

Look no further than the bottom of this page. There you'll find all Galveston restaurants and maps to get you there fast!

It’s a challenge keeping a successful restaurant at a tourist
destination. For that reason you can be sure owners work hard to make and keep
happy customers.

During
tourist season waits for diner can be long. We found mid-day lunch works out
great. In the evening try an order to go or delivery. Some restaurants offer
delivery.

Most
restaurants have an Island paper located near the entrance or just inside. You
will find coupons for restaurants and bars, plus the latest island news on
entertainment and events. There might be a coupon for where you’re eating
at.

Dining with a view

Many
Galveston restaurants on the seawall have fantastic views of the Gulf. Even a fast
food meal becomes memorable here.

The Seawall is packed with choices; a burger at Wendy’s, seafood, Mexican or fine dining. Most of
these restaurants are corporate owned food chains. Sprinkled among them are
family owned bars and restaurants.

City of Galveston adventures

In
the City of Galveston are more adventures.

What are you in the mood for? Great
bar food, Cajun, Asian, sea food, barbeque, Mediterranean, American, desserts, gourmet coffee
and sushi? Whew! Maybe a genuine Italian meal or just a Deli
sandwich?

Savor your meal
inside, sidewalk cafe style or on a cool veranda just watching the world
go by. There is no need to hurry, you're on island time now.

Harbor Dining

The alluring sights, sounds and exciting foods
create pleasure moments we love to think about. It
doesn’t get any better than this.

In the harbor city size cruise ships drift by. You may spot Dolphins frolicking, fish jumping, oceanic birds preening themselves. On the far side are monolithic oil platforms.

Arriving on the island from Pittsburgh in
November and dining outside is pure pleasure! This picture was taken from Joe's Crab
shack. This is a tiny part of the harbor where the Mosquito Fleet docks.

Seafood

There are twenty eight
(28) Galveston restaurants serving the finest seafood on the Gulf coast. Fresh shrimp,
shell fish, crab, calamari, and fish- much of it caught in local waters. You can even
buy it whole sale.

Vacation means breakfast out

Who
on vacation doesn’t want breakfast out? There are some fun places for breakfast
here. One of the Galveston restaurants has a singing piano player on Sunday mornings. Thinking about it
makes me giggle!

Traveling with kids? We know a restaurant that won’t break the
bank. And you get more than your money’s worth.
